The Battle of Algiers	comment	The Battle of Algiers (Italian : La battaglia di Algeri, Arabic : معركة الجزائر) is a 1966 film by Gillo Pontecorvo, and is a dramatization of the Algerian War of Independence. The story begins with Ali La Pointe, a card sharp in the cramped slums of Algiers, the capital city of French-controlled Algeria. Imprisoned, he joins the rebel group FLN and takes up arms against the colonial French government. After a few skirmishes with French police, reprisal killings spur ever-worse reprisal killings as the native and colonist populations are radicalized against each other. A UN vote for independence comes and goes as a general strike is called. Afterward, a French military expert, Colonel Philippe Mathieu, is brought in to pacify the region, gain intelligence, and destroy the FLN leadership.A critical favorite, the film has attracted no small amount of controversy over the years. France banned the movie until 1971. It has been used as a how-to for many left-wing groups worldwide (notably, the Black Panthers used it as a training film in the '60s), and, conversely, was screened by the Pentagon in 2003 as a primer on counterterrorism.Compare Outside the Law, a 2010 French/Algerian film about three Algerian brothers involved in guerilla warfare inside France. Also compare Is Paris Burning? about a different uprising (the uprising of La Résistance in Paris during World War II) filmed the same year.

The Battle of Algiers / int_18baa751	type	Historical Villain Downgrade
The Battle of Algiers / int_18baa751	comment	Historical Villain Downgrade: The movie avoids portraying the oppression of French colonialism for the most part such as how abuse of resources and taxing the local populaces (and even condoning local sex market which increased a demand for sex trafficking) are the primary reasons the whole revolution started in the first place. The movie fails to show some of the unsavory French actions such as slaughtering entire villages of males and the blatant Jim Crowesque levels of racism during the war. In addition, while onscreen torture is shown as pretty horrific, in real life the French did much worse things during interrogation including gang-raping suspected women, forcing captured insurgents to torture other Algerians, hours of harming children, drugging stubborn prisoners, and many more things to horrific to post here. In particular, nothing is shown of innocent French citizens getting tortured or shot because of accusations of supporting the insurgency, or that French civilians often carried out their own murders against Arab and Berber Algerians independent of the Army. Due to its focus primarily on the 1957 "Battle" there's no mention of the pied noirs' own activism (from protests to terrorism to full-scale rebellions against the French government), which deprives the film of significant context. Notably, in Real Life the climactic demonstration by Arab Algerians in December 1960 was in response both to a visit by Charles de Gaulle to Algiers and a failed assassination plot and coup d'etat by fanatical pied noirs, neither of which are mentioned in the film which treats the uprising as an entirely spontaneous action by the Algerian public.

The Battle of Algiers / int_20860a0e	type	Punch-Clock Villain
The Battle of Algiers / int_20860a0e	comment	Punch-Clock Villain: Colonel Mathieu. He has to do horrible things and justify them to the press, but he isn't particularly deplorable, having fought against the Nazis and Fascist Italy back in World War II as part of the Free French military and La Résistance. He even mentions that Algerians are good people and hopes things will remain peaceful after the FLN presence in the city is wiped out. Hell, in his first few lines of dialogue, it's clear that he wishes no ill will against Algerians themselves:

The Battle of Algiers / int_3e8d9cd3	type	Historical Hero Upgrade
The Battle of Algiers / int_3e8d9cd3	comment	Historical Hero Upgrade: The movie certainly doesn't whitewash the FLN, but some of their more unsavory actions (whether mutilating French corpses or fighting with other Algerian nationalist groups) go unmentioned. In addition they also fail to mention part of the reason French occupation got more brutal upon the end of WWII was because local Algerian rowdies were going on rampage and plundering local French villages and residencies after the Germans left but before the French could stabilize the region. Some of the FLN members participated in these acts for nearly a decade before the revolution started in 1954. Also downplayed is how not just the FLN but the Algerian side as a whole were pretty bigoted Muslims who wanted to impose restrictions on non-Muslims and more liberal Agerians upon gaining independence (and actually attempted to do so in the war within Arab quarters). The most shown is their death penalty for drug possession and ban on prostitution. In real life, pogroms and actual violence occurred in FLN-occupied locations simply because the target was not a Muslim (or not seen as "devout enough"), including the massacre or expulsion of nearly the entire European population of Algiers and Oran within a few months of independence.

The Battle of Algiers / int_416a2a0d	comment	Torture Always Works: One of the most thorough explorations of this topic. On a tactical level it's played straight, as Mathieu gains important tactical information from employing torture. The movie's more concerned with its broader impact, generating resentment among the Arab population of Algiers, and its moral implications. Historically, France lost the war, so the harsh measures failed at a strategic level.
